T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,WILLIAM Coao ner, of S Broad street, Pendleton, Manchester., England, a subject of the Kingof Great Britainand Ireland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements Fittings for Use in Glazing Roof and like Structures, of which the following .is' a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide new or improved fittings foreconomiz ing labor in glazing morand like struc tures, the said fittings enabling the T astra gals or glazing supports to be secured in position in the condition in which they are delivered from the rolling mills and without the necessity for any drilling, counter-sinking or forging of the same.

'My invention comprises the improvedcombinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described.

Referring to the accompanying explanatory drawings Figure 1 is an elevation showing upper, lower and intermediate types of my improved fittings supporting T astragals and arranged in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the parts shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the lower fitting looking from left to right of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is an end View of the intermediate fitting looking from left to right of Fig. 1.

Fi 5 is an end view of the upper fitting lookmg from right to left of Fig. 1.

Fig. 6 is a plan view of the intermediate fitting with the upright member thereof detached and laid on its side.

Fig. 7 is a detail view to be hereinafter referred to.

In accordance with my present invention, each of my improved fittings whether employed at the ends of a roof or like structure or in intermediate positions where one length of glazing overlaps another, comprises an arm or like part a which may have a countersunk slot 2') therein, to receive the head of a bolt or screw by which the fitting is secured upon an angle iron as c, or purlin, scantling or other part of the roof or like structure. The said arm is adapted to support the end of a T shaped astragal or bar d and has lug-like projections e at opposite sides to prevent lateral displacement of the T bar which rests thereon. There is also upon the said arm an upwardly projecttheriglit 0f Fig.1 and letteredclg \Specificationof Lettersl'atent. Patented Sept. 9, 1919.

ing turned over or hook-like part f under which thejend of theT astragalfpasses so that the *latter cannot be lifted from the fitting but must he slid longitudinallythera froinf LThehpper fitting. is that shown to q has, in addition to the features before described; a forked or slotted projecting part 9 (see Fig. 6), which serves to embrace that T astragal which is adjacent the one supported upon the arm portion a of the fitting. Such The intermediate type of t in second T (lettered elat the left hand of Fig. 1) is supported by or rests directly upon the angle iron 0 or the like (see Fig. 1) to which the fitting is secured. To prevent the upper length a of the over-lapping glazing (a indicates the lower length) R fromslipping or downward displacement, I

provide a slot f (Fig. 6) in the upwardly projecting part f which receives the center or pivot portion of a U-shaped element It (Figs. '1 and 2) having downwardly projecting ends upon the extremities of the U which engage the lower ends of the glazing a and holdit in lace (see Fig. 1). When the upper T 'astragal is in position, the center or pivot portion of the U is held in its slot f by the end of the T which abuts against the part 7.

The glazing may beheld down upon the astragals by metal plate clips 03 embracing the base of the latter and turned over the edges of the glass as shown in Fig. 7

Eachof my improved fittings has a turned down portion for engaging the angle iron or the like 0 upon which it is supported and in the case of the intermediate and lower fittings, for taking the weight which tends to displace the glazing downward, off the studs or bolts holding the fittings upon their supports.

T may vary the details of my fitting to suit requirements.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In roof and like glazing, the combination with an astragal or supporting member for the glass, of means for securing the said member in its service position, consisting in part of an arm in attachment with the structure to be glazed and having projections en gagmgthesides and top of the astragal, as set forth.

2. In roof and like glazing, the combination with a pair of astragals or supporting members for the glass, of an attachment arm;

having lateral projections therefrom engaging the sides of one of the said astragals, a forked end projection embracing the sides of the other astragal, and an upturned projection engaging the top of 'both astragais,

turned projection engaging the top of both astragais, with a glazing retaining piece con- Oopies of this patent may lie obtained for nected to the said upturned projection, as set forth.

' 4:. In roof andlikeiglazing, the combination consisting of a pair of astragals or supporting members for the glass, an attachment arm having lateral projections therefrom engaging the sides of one of the said astragals, a forked end projection embracing the sides of the other astragal and an upturned projection engaging the top of both astraga1s,. 'With a glazing retaining piece connected to the said upturned projection, and holding down pieces for the glazing embracing the astragai bases, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

WILLIAM COACKLEY.
